So - I am Running the Wine & Dine 10K

OK so I seriously must be crazy and right now I am freaking out a little bit. Several of my bestest friends in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD (seriously, they are my heart guys) are signed up for the runDisney Wine and Dine 10K. I had planned on making cute signs and cheering them on. But then . . . I wanted to be part of the action.

I am so nonathletic I don't even have a photo of me doing ANYTHING remotely physical. And so here are some giraffes. Giraffes must run quickly, right?

You guys WHAT WAS I THINKING?! I have never run at all. If a bear was chasing me I would probably just lie down and let it eat me. I do not run. At all. I never have. Even as a child when we had to run in gym class I just wanted to lie on the blacktop and let the earth swallow me before I would run.

But the thing is - I NEED to do this. I eat extremely healthy but I am still slightly overweight. Slightly, but still there. I have been eating Paleo for 2 years and while I have lost a lot of weight I am still not where I should be. I haven't exercised at all. And so . . . here it is.

My training starts tomorrow. I downloaded the couch to 10K app today. Wish me luck. I will post weekly updates. If I don't die. If you don't see an update I didn't make it y'all. I didn't make it.

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO! I am so excited for you! The medals are awesome the year and Disney is the best motivation. Good luck with your training and feel free to visit my own blog for any Run Disney tips: www.fitdisneymom.com. You'll ROCK IT!

I admire you for doing this. I know that I could never run. If it required me to run to get to the front door of my house, I would never make it. So, the fact that you are willing to do this is really gutsy.

You can do it, don't ever doubt yourself. If you've been eating healthy then all you need is little training to get used to the run and you're going to be okay. I think it's great that you decided to join something like this. It's cool to try new things every once in a while.

I love the way you write! You talked about something serious here yet the way you write rise a smile on my face. I wish you all luck in your training and the 10K.You have the determination, I'm sure you can do it.

Good luck! I am not athletic either...I love to walk, but I don't get the chance to walk very vigorously walking with three littles...I'm hoping to get a membership to the gym soon, and hopefully that will encourage me to get my butt in gear!

About Me

We are a family of Disney Nerds living in the dairy state. While we call our home Wisconsin, our family is the happiest while we are visiting Walt Disney World. My love of Disney has brought many amazing opportunities into my life. I was a member of the 2015 Disney Parks Moms Panel. I have learned that Disney people are AMAZING people and I have met some fellow Disney Nerds that are now my best friends! Follow along with my family and myself as I write about our Walt Disney World Resort experiences, the struggle of not having been born a Disney Princess, how a Disney family lives day to day, and anything else that finds its way out of my brain and onto the World Wide Web.
